Orders
When you place an order with us it will be deemed that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.
By placing an order through our website, you are making an offer to The Grey Works to purchase the goods outlined in your order upon the terms described in your order.
When you place an order, we will require your name, email address, credit/debit card, phone and address details. This information is required in order to process your request or inform you of acceptance of the order. A contact phone number is needed so we can get in touch if there is a problem with your order. We may, unless you inform us otherwise, provide our couriers with your contact phone number in case they need to reach you to arrange the delivery of your order.
All prices on our website, emails are shown and charged in pounds Sterling inclusive of UK VAT. A breakdown of VAT charges is shown at the checkout, prior to completing your order.
After placing an order online, we will provide you with confirmation that your order has been received but this is not confirmation that your offer to buy the items has been accepted. Our contract for the sale of our products will only exist once an order has been accepted, charged, processed and we have contacted you with the confirmation of our acceptance of your order and his dispatch.
Please note that we will not be able to meet any obligations as a result of the following reasons:
- If the product you ordered is out of stock.
- We are unable to authorise your payment.
- If it is identified that there is a product description or pricing error.
- If customers do not reach any order criteria outlined in the Terms & Conditions.
- If our delivery companies are temporarily unable to deliver due to exceptional conditions that are beyond our control including hazardous weather and accidents.
Should there be an issue with your order, one of our Customer Service team will contact you either by phone or email. If we have issues authorising payment, we will contact you via phone or email and you will have 72 hours to respond. Failure to do so will result in your order being cancelled.
The Grey Works is under no obligation to accept any offer of purchase. Please note that whilst we will make every effort and reasonable care to keep your order details and payment secure, we cannot be responsible for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any information that you supply when accessing or ordering from The Grey Works website.
Please ensure that you check all items on receipt, as faulty or damaged items must be reported within 8 working days of receiving the parcel.
Website Product Pricing and Descriptions
Every product bought is sold subject to its product description which outlines any further specific conditions that relate to that product including, without restriction, terms and conditions that regarding approximate delivery dates/times, warranties, after-sales support and guarantees.
We undertake all reasonable care to ensure that all the details, prices and descriptions of products on our website are accurate at the time when they are either entered onto our system or printed. Whilst we endeavour to keep the website as up-to-date and accurate as possible, there may be very rare occasions when the information on the website (including product descriptions) at a certain time may not reflect the position exactly at the point an order is placed. We do not give any warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information and cannot be responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results arising from the use of such information.
We take every care to ensure that the description and specification of our products are correct at the time of going to press. However, products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Your product may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because some of our products are handmade, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website may vary.
Furthermore, while the colour reproduction of the products is a close representation, we cannot accept any responsibility for any variation in colour caused by the browser software or computer system used to view the products.
Bespoke Items
If you wish to purchase a 'made to order' item, the contract may be cancelled no longer than 14 working days after delivery of the item. In the case of bespoke items made to your specification, a 20% restocking fee may be deducted from the refund of the item. The item must be returned in a perfect, saleable condition and in its original packaging. Failure to do so may result in The Grey Works being unable to refund you. If we are making the product to measurements or description which you have given to us, you are responsible for ensuring that the measurements and/or description are correct.
We cannot be responsible for interest charges made by your credit card company whilst waiting for returns to be refunded to your card.
